Open-source coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains and the terminal, plus hosted cloud agents in isolated containers.

## Overview

Kilo Code is an open-source coding agent that works inside the VS Code and JetBrains editors and from the command line, plus cloud agents that run in isolated containers hosted by Kilo.

It works with 500+ models through its own gateway at provider prices, with the user’s own API keys, or with local models. Users can add MCP servers to connect outside tools.

The editor and CLI agent are MIT licensed. The platform is free for individuals and $15 per user a month for teams, with cloud compute billed by the hour and a custom Enterprise tier. Kilo is now part of Anaconda.
